Getting started hacking Uyuni
A treck through a code jungle

Presented by:

As a virtualization developer, Cedric hacked a lot around libvirt and the ecosystem around it. He recently moved to improve Salt's use of libvirt and SUSE Manager virtualization features.

In a previous life at SUSE, he also has been a LibreOffice Writer hacker.

No video of the event yet, sorry!

Uyuni is the new upstream project of SUSE Manager, running on openSUSE Leap 15.1. Just like any open source project people will want to start modifying it and contributing to it.

Since hacking on it may not be easy at first glance, this session will prepare a trail through the Uyuni jungle. This talk will show how to setup a build and test environment on openSUSE. The global picture of Uyuni's architecture, code pointers and a technique to find your way through this code will also be given during this session.

This talk aims at easing the learning curve to modify the Java and Javascript parts of Uyuni, but some ruby or python may appear in that jungle.
